With nearly 29 acres of boating facilities, Rock Harbor is Nashvilles only full-service marine facility located directly on the Cumberland River. Rock Harbor currently operates 150 boat slips ranging in size from twenty five feet to ninety feet, as well as boasting one of the premier marine service facilities in the Southeastern United States. In addition to expansion of its existing marine service offerings, significant upgrades and aesthetic improvements to the waterfront destination are slated within the next year. Those expansions include extra parking, boater amenities and dockage infrastructure, as well as plans to introduce a mix of new commercial spaces. These would range from restaurants and stores to unique waterfront services, including boat, kayak and jet ski rentals. Rock Harbor is currently planning to construct new boat slips ranging in size from thirty to fifty-five feet to encourage greater boating and dockside activity. All of this will enable more Nashvillians to enjoy the Cumberland River and gain a better understanding of its unique ecosystem.
